It is more personal to them than to the average American wondering if the world is better or worse off because of how our government has distributed military and humanitarian aid.

Many Gaza people support their violence, while others disagree with it but are so dependent on the system there's no viable way to change it.
Gazan militants are embedded in civilization population areas and infrastructure - schools are a common place to launch rockets from, for example. They believe the only way to free Palestinians from the suffering under Israeli embargo is massive violence on civilians, "Sherman's march through Georgia was the only way to end the Civil War"-type belief. Whatever happens, a lot of civilians are going to die.

Lyrl Link ParentIt's not like violence has ever stopped the atrocities, either. What the violence has done is help the international community fail to condemn what Israel does.It's not like violence has ever stopped the atrocities, either.

My understanding is viral load makes a huge difference. The person exposed to a room where they breathe in five hundred viruses an hour might need several hours of exposure to get sick, while the person in a room breathing three thousand viruses an hour might get sick after just ten or fifteen minutes. And of course viral shedding by the sick person varies a lot, so some days they virus up the room air much more than other days.
If climate allows, increased ventilation around the sick person or people (to reduce viral load in the air) would likely reduce these severity of illness in the exposed people.
